While fiction does not equal real life people take inspiration from the stories they read and apply it to their daily lives. Just because one person is wise enough to know right from wrong that doesn't mean the next person is. I always see the argument "fiction isn't reality" when it pertains to grooming, incest, and other types of weird sexual things. I find it to be a poor argument when each person is completely different in their way of thinking. There have been people who use the excuse of fiction (like star wars, call of duty, other video games and movies) to incite violence, why would sexual things be any different?
When showing these things in fiction (grooming, rape, incest, etc) and it's portrayed as a bad thing that's one thing, but when it's portrayed as insignificant or something that could be covered with a band-aid it CAN have negative consequences. It is said that the way stories are told is a good indication of how one's environment and/or society is like. It's a good indicator of how that time's morals and ways of thinking are portrayed. A lot of people end up becoming numb to the different topics.
It genuinely freaked me out when louie (the mom) said that he could've seen this coming from the get-go, that Yullur was extremely attached to him from an early age. I don't think people understand what grooming is fully. Grooming could be favoritism, building trust, etc etc. It's a broad spectrum that changes the child's (or the one being manipulated) perception of them. While it is a very thin line that Yullur was walking on, it's iffy telling if it was fully grooming.... But the relationship is wrong in general. Regardless, it's typical in BL like this. I'm surprised I even stuck with this story, but I read Louie's part and thought this would be fun.
